I'm a little on the fence on both sides here. Admittedly, I don't give a rat's butt about football, but that's what we're really talking about here. There are some BIG bucks being made off the backs of these athletes. Some of them are truly using this opportunity to get a good college degree, with no real plans of going pro. The scholarship is a good deal for them. Some though, are just following the rules and trying to go pro. You're not allowed to go pro straight out of HS, unlike baseball. The NCAA and schools then turn around and make a lot of money off these kids. I don't know that I think that's fair. Especially if they get injured and lose all real hope of going pro. That doesn't really mean I like this ruling either, again, I'm on the fence. Just trying to have an open mind and see both sides of the issue.
